Since you've been gone | Book Review

Hello everyone, 

 I've just finished reading this book  (Since you've been gone by Morgan Matson) for the third time, yes the third time, it's that amazing. I bought it last year when visiting waterstones in London (which is the most amazing book shop I've ever been to) and this caught my eye. I've got a feeling that this book is going to be very successful. 

Firstly, the cover design is amazing. It depicts exactly how I'd imagine the main characters Sloanne and  Emily. It's an eye catching and original design with the name clearly stated. 

Basically Sloanne has disappeared, Emily has no idea where she is and will do anything to try and get her best friend back, then one day she finds a to-do list in Sloanne's hand writing. It states all sorts of absurd things out of her comfort zone that she must do before the end of the summer. Whilst on her mini adventure she meets new friends and gets multiple love interests throughout. Her last and final one is unexpected but I ship it! 

I ended up reading this in two days and I would have finished it earlier if they hadn't been school days. Every chapter was interesting and all in all the book inspired me. It made me hint about what I can do to enjoy my self and what I can do that's out of my comfort zone to gain confidence. 

The character development of Emily from start to finish is amazing, she becomes so much more self aware and confident, she realises just how important she is and that she doesn't need other people to define her, and can we talk about Morgan's writing skills?! This book is written phenomenally, and I would absolutely love a sequel! 

One thing I would improve is the ending, though it was written well, it broke my heart! Why would you do that to me? (No-one dies don't worry) . It completely changed my view of Sloanne and I really wanted them to be able to be best friends forever, even though it didn't turn out too badly for the pair! 

The book is interesting, funny, emotional, I laughed and cried and I really recommend reading it (though maybe not in public as some bits might make you look insane). It's my favourite book along with Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas. If any of you have read it, send a message my way and we can fangirl/ fanboy together about it :-) .

I hope this post was interesting, let me know if any of you have any books you'd like me to read and review I will read any genre!
